Get ready to satisfy your sweet tooth as we explore the crunchy, sugar-coated world of authentic Spanish churros and their fluffy cousins, porras. We trace the mysterious origins of these fried delights from the high-mountain shepherds and their Churra sheep or were they Chinese imports brought by Portuguese sailors returning from Asia. This episode breaks down the regional styles found in Madrid and Andalusia, explaining why the local churrería remains the heart of a classic Spanish breakfast. You will learn why fresh is best and why the simplest versions usually beat the over-the-top toppings found at festivals. Grab a thick hot chocolate and join us for a journey through Spain’s most delicious treat that has spread across the world.
